So the best I can offer is that I didn't HATE this. It was just kind of ehhh. Nothing excited me and while I read it in one sitting it was with a sort of bored detachment towards the characters.

Look it's a romance, there's only one ending in your typical romance. So once the hero meets the heroine it's a a matter of time til they wind up together. A good romance makes you not care you know the ending. It makes you forget that really no other ending exists.

Tension, passion, banter...the journey in the case of a romance is the important part, not the destination.

MISS MATCH just...did nothing of the sort for me. ( )

4.5 stars.

Miss Match by Laurelin McGee is a super cute and downright fun novel with a delightfully unique premise. This charming and rather unconventional romance has plenty of witty banter and giggle inducing inner dialogue that will keep readers laughing out loud as Andrea "Andy" Dawson and Blake Donovan unexpectedly fall in lust while Andy tries to find Blake a wife.

Andy is in desperate need of a job when her sister Lacy convinces her to answer Blake's ad for a "personal concierge" aka matchmaker. Andy really has no intention of taking the job but once all her other leads fizzle out, she reluctantly accepts the position. She has a very unwanted attraction to her new boss, but his less than appealing attributes make it easy for her to resist the sparks between them. But once Andy jumps to conclusions about his dates, Blake proposes they indulge in a no strings fling while she continues trying to find him his perfect match. Much hilarity and extreme hotness ensues but a will a misunderstanding destroy their chance at happiness?

Andy is a tad bit annoying at first but once she starts working for Blake, she becomes a much more enjoyable character. She has a very unusual ability to read people and this skill was the basis for her previous job. She might be attracted to Blake but his cold, businesslike approach to marriage makes it difficult for her to like him, and she does not hesitate to point out his character flaws. She is exasperated by his ridiculous qualifications for a wife but she has a job to do, so she begins the onerous task of finding prospective brides for him while at the same time trying to make Blake appear more interesting and approachable.

Blake is rather unlikable when he is first introduced, but thankfully, any misconceptions about him are quickly cleared up. He comes across as a little cold and calculating with a side of chauvinist thrown in, but first impressions can definitely be misleading. Blake really does have softer side but he goes to pretty extreme lengths to keep his more endearing traits hidden. Although he wants a submissive, serene bride, he cannot help but appreciate Andy's feistiness and he surprises both of them by immediately changing the rules of her employment so he can spend more time with her. Andy keeps Blake off balance right from the start and he gradually begins envisioning a different life than the one he thought he wanted.

Miss Match by Laurelin McGee is a sweet but sexy read. Andy and Blake are beautifully developed quirky characters that are very easy to like. The chemistry between them is palpable and their sex scenes are scorching hot. The storyline is quite distinctive and outrageously entertaining with a few unexpected twists and turns. It is an absolutely hilarious and very heartwarming love story that is sure to be a hit with fans of contemporary romances. ( )

Miss Match is sexy and hilariously funny. Laurelin McGee 's matchmaking love story leaves you smiling and anticipating visiting these characters again. The circumstances that brought Blake and Drea together is a soap opera in itself. But who cares. The attraction and chemistry between these two is off the charts.
Will be reading more of Laurelin McGee. I received an ARC of Miss Match for an honest review. ( )

Awesome read! Great writing in dual POV (which I love!)and the main characters of Blake and Drea have chemistry that pops from the pages. Tons of witty banter and humorous situations have you laughing out loud.

Blake has decided he needs a wife (or is it a maid?) but putting in the meeting/dating effort is too much so he hires Andrea to screen potential woman and set up his dates. Funny thing though, since meeting Andrea nobody else seems to measure up!!

This is one I definitely recommend for everyone. ( )
